Yoga

In my last post I talked about our awesome gym and all of the cool stuff it has to offer. One of the things I mentioned was the group fitness classes. When I was looking on the gym's website to check my facts, I happened upon the group fitness schedule and saw a 6:15 am yoga class Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I usually do not do my exercising early in the morning, but I thought yoga would be a nice way to start the day and it's really the best time to fit it into my schedule.

So, I committed and paid the $40 for the group fitness classes, bought a yoga mat, and went to class this morning at 6:15. There were quite a lot of people there, more than I expected, of a variety of ages and a variety of skill levels, so I didn't feel weird having never been. I'm definitely glad I went; I really liked it. It put me in a good mood and I started the day awake and on time, not in a daze after speed biking to campus like I usually do. Yoga is great because it is exercise that you don't realize is exercise until you're done. It was also crazy doing it early in the morning because when the class started it was pitch black outside and by the time it was over it was light out, and I hadn't noticed.

I'm going to try to start going every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning, so maybe I'll be a zen master by the end of the year.
